Here are a few videos that have been published about the GSUF, to give you a flavour of the event. Others are still being put online so do have a look round if you’re interested in seeing more. Thanks to the people credited for the use of their YouTubes.

Aldrine Guerrero playing Carlos Santana at the Kings Theatre on the Saturday evening (filmed by Bic Pentameter):

Late Night Ukulele Cabaret at the Wedgewood Rooms – Tricity Vogue & the class from her earlier songwriting workshop sing their newly-penned ditty Do The Wedgewood Bend:

Easy Like a Sunday Morning at The Wine Vaults – Bye Bye Blues performed by Peter Moss, Michael Adcock and Phil Doleman (filmed by Dave Johnson, who has caught a couple more from that excellent jamming session):

The final Mass Strumalong at the Wedgwood Rooms with the Pompey Pluckers (another by Fiona Martin). If you’re eagle-eyed you may spot Bob & me in there!

Tina has picked three tunes that she always sings aloud, usually whilst hoovering or in the shower!

As before, we’ve put the versions of the songs we’ll be using in the PLUC Box for members. Have a go at playing them & be ready to perform them as a group on Tues 20 & 27 October, after which we’ll vote upon the one that works the best & to keep playing for the next few months.

Song One – Hallelujah – by Leonard Cohen (a tune that’s been covered by over 300 artists). Here’s Richard Hefner, who plays it through first, then gives a tutorial:

Song Two – Valerie – by The Zutons (& also well-known by Mark Ronson featuring Amy Winehouse). Aldrine from Ukulele Underground thrashes out a version:

Song Three – Girl On Fire – by Alicia Keys. Wisa89 gives her uke cover here:

A reminder for those of you who might be interested but haven’t yet decided to attend – the first Grand Southern Ukulele Festival is happening in Portsmouth from Fri 9 – Sun 11 Oct 2015.
